Lim/Quan made their
The team next competed at the 2022 South Korean Junior Championships in January, where they won the junior national title by a 52-point margin over Kim/Lee. As a result of their placement, they were named to the South Korean team for the 2022 World Junior Championships in Tallinn.[7]
At the World Junior Championships, Lim/Quan were seventh in the rhythm dance, but rose to fourth in the free dance to improve their overall standing to sixth place. Their finish matched Kim/Minov's placement in 2014 as the highest finish for a South Korean ice dance team at a World Junior Championships.[8] Lim called it "an amazing experience."[7]
2022–23 season: JGP Final and Junior World silver
Lim/Quan worked with Émilie Josset at the Ice Academy of Montreal to choreograph their dances.
At the Final in Turin, Lim/Quan finished third in the rhythm dance with a score of 64.21. They were only 0.37 points behind Britons Bekker/Hernandez in second place, but also only 0.13 ahead of fourth-place Mrázková/Mrázek, who had been the pre-event favourites before having a double-fall in the segment.[11] In the free dance they rose to second, aided again by a double-fall from the Czechs, who finished 0.99 points behind them overall. Their silver was the first Final medal for a Korean dance team, which result she said was "really exciting."[12][13]
Lim/Quan won their second consecutive South Korean junior title at the 2023 junior national championships, again by a wide margin.[14] They were assigned to finish the season at the 2023 World Junior Championships in Calgary, entering as podium favourites. They finished second in the rhythm dance with a new personal best score of 71.08, only 0.11 behind segment leaders Mrázková/Mrázek and more than two points clear of Bekker/Hernandez in third.[15][16] They set a new personal best in the free dance as well with 103.31, clearing the 100-point threshold for the first time, and won the silver medal. This was the first Junior World medal for a South Korean team. Lim said she was "really glad that we were able to get a first medal for Korea."[17][18]
Based on the total results of skaters in the
2023–24 season: Senior debut
For their full senior debut, Lim stated their goal was to "be memorable."
Competing at the domestic senior level for the first time at the 2024 South Korean Championships, Lim/Quan won the senior national title.[6] They went on to make their senior ISU championship debut at the 2024 Four Continents Championships in Shanghai, finishing seventh.[26]
Lim/Quan made their senior World Championship debut at the 2024 edition, held in Montreal, the site of their training base. They finished fourteenth in the rhythm dance, Lim saying afterward she was "really happy" with the result.[27] After earning twelfth in the free dance, they remained fourteenth overall, the highest ever finish for a South Korean ice dance team at the senior World Championships.[28] Afterward, Lim called the championships "surely one to remember."[29]
